My Kitchen Rules topped the night at 1.08m viewers, streets ahead of Planet Earth II (650,000) and The Biggest Loser (453,000) -TEN’s revamped reality show saw no discernible lift in its second outing, while Nine’s Attenborough doco slipped on last week.
New true crime series Million Dollar Cold Case won its slot with a cool 644,000 viewers, around the same Murder Uncovered attracted in the same 9pm slot a week ago. Nine’s Murder Calls Australia, with a 20 minute head start, had to settle for 488,000 -also down on last week.
Both The Weekly with Charlie Pickering and Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery rose on last week’s outing, while This is Us copped the brunt of TBL: Transformed.

Don’t worry David. Just because nobody commented doesn’t mean no-one noticed. No need to look sheepish.
Lol this comment made me notice the bleat the competition reference, which I skipped over
would of watched I’m A Celeb as lead-in to This is Us but as Celeb is finished, I didn’t even bother turning the TV until 8.40
No MAFS and no I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here… and still MKR only just breaks the million. Where did all the MAFS and Celebrity viewers go. Only half were watching Planet Earth or TBL.
They had the night off. All 3 commercial networks are relying too heavily on their flagship reality show for the week. One show does not sustain prime time across the whole week.
Well if those shows are not on, TV just ain’t worth watching
Sunny ..? if folk don’t like what the fta chs are providing, maybe most are streaming something they choose to watch at a time that is convenient for them. That is what will happen now
Think Sully meant channels 9 & 10. Channel 9 must regret not having MAFS on 4 night including Wednesdays
Walliams & Friend is a gem of a show.
Great return to sketches for DW.
Worth a look!
Demo results may just save TBL.
Daylight was second last night.
I think Channel 7 & Channel 9 need to re-think their Wednesday line-ups?
Welcome back Sully. Missed you yesterday when the results were a little different. But in your excitement about the Ch7 win, I think you have named the wrong 2 networks who need to “re-think” their line ups ?
What?
Why 7? They won.
Yes, my apologies, I meant “Channel 9 & Channel 10”.
Lapse in concentration.
Despite Married At First Sight’s return to success & much closer gap between Channel 7 and Channel 9, Channel 9 really only have this program at the moment. Hence why Seven have still dominated each survey week so far.
With the AFL starting next Thursday for 2017, Seven will ‘default win’ every Thursday, Friday & Saturday.
So the other networks, if they’re looking to win any weeks in a declining TV environment, better go back to the drawing board.
